Balance: What Is It and How Important Is It?

"You need more balance in your life." "That person is so unbalanced." "I've got to get more balanced." We've all heard these words, and probably spoken them, also. What do they mean? 8 hours work, 8 hours sleep, 8 hours play? Is balance the same for us all? How do we know if we, or another, is "out of balance / unbalanced"? Is balance something to ignore or to strive for? A "balanced" (by her own standards, if not others) person addresses these questions in an interactive workshop. What does balance mean to you? Are you happy with your own balance?
